Europians have it smarter to prevent scchool shootouts! Golden eye is 16+ in Europe!

In most European countries there's no law to even enforce this rule though, you can walk in at age 9 and buy this stuff without any trouble.

i do agree that violence in media could affect children that are impressionable but its up to the parents to teach their children right from wrong, not the media. also i still say, that if they want the wii u to really replace everything in the living room, that they should creat a media player to play a wide range of music files and video files (mp3-mkv) (most of my videos are in mkv so it would be nice). and the ability to listen to music and play a game at the same time.

Those features were added to PS3 and 360 after launch, so I'm still hoping they're added to the Wii U at some point as well.

thats nic to hear. tho the 360 one sucked. i thin only mp4 viedos worked, not sure but i kno i couldnt watch any videos on it. well if nintendo does do it then i hope they add a wide range of files compatible *cough*mkv*cough*

Yeah the PS3 was much better for it, but mkv files tend to be huge if they aren't compressed heavily and never streamed well across my network.

what do you mean "streamed well across your network"? i use vlc media player and mkv's work just fine. but i guess thats not streaming.

Well I believe its up to the parents to decide whether their child is ready for certain material or not, I don't really... "believe?" ...in global age limits.

I think they should be used as guidelines rather than strict cut-offs.

Streaming from my PC to the PS3.

parents just want something or someone to blame for their bad parenting. the media doesnt nee to censir anything, its up to the parents to teach their kids right from wrong, not up to the media to babysit their kids. there are ratings for a reason...

 

"censorship is like telling a man that he can't eat a steak because a baby can't chew it" -mark twain.

 

censorship is ok to a tiny degree called common curtisy  but other than that, if you dont like what i say then just ignore it. my goal isnt to offend you but im not going to censore myself unless you are right next to me. im a little hypocritical when it comes to this only because i have friend who have been through some stuff and i dont want to hurt them. but thats not going stop me from laughing to a rape joke, i just wont say one "in front of you" if you take offence to it.
